LATEST VINTAGE FINDS!!

THE HOLY GRAIL OF SWEATSHIRTS!!
1940's double V-stitch!! 

Love the bleeding over the V of the print.
This was more then likely an error as i believe that the V stitch was there as an option to turn your sweater into a
V-neck, if you were oh so inclined.
But for me, this is just one of the things that makes this piece so god damn beautiful.

???
Any info on ''IRON PEDDLERS'' would be greatly appreciated. 
Its going to be very very hard to part with this one.
Extremely rare!! and fucking awesome!!

Bummer town is that the sleeves and waist have been cut.

Going to be hard to part with this one.

Perfect 38 to 40!!

Vintage 1940's DELMONICO rayon western shirt.

rare!!

1940's WW2 USN deck jacket.
Depending how you view the world will depend on how you view this piece.
For me, this is perfect!!
You could walk into walmark and buy a jacket but that jacket wouldn't be able to tell stories like this one can.
This thing was in battle, it has been threw hell and it's come out the other side fucking perfect!!
USN stencil on left breast side is still present, very faint, but still there.

ART!!

I had to distort the photo a little bit in order to show you the stencilling on the back of the jacket, it is still very hard to see, but it reads ''FAW'G 150''...I think? 

Fits me perfectly!!

VINTAGE 1970's 100% cotton PUBLIC IMAGE LTD (pil) bootleg tour t-shirt.
Amazing led paint graphics!!
You just can't beat 70's bootleg tee's for rarity and originality, they are always just a little bit...off.  

You see alot of bootleg tee's with tag's from PAKISTAN or INDIA.
Back in the 70's the dudes that were knocking these gems up in the garages were all about making bucks and cutting corners, and buying the cheapest possible cotton tee's from Pakistan was just one of many ways they did that.
First wash normally they would shrink down about 2 sizes, thats why when you find them they look so blown out!!

1970's patchwork/embroidered bell bottom USN jeans.

This is with out a doubt the best pair of custom patchwork jeans that i have EVER!! found.
AMAZING!!
Sear brand USN style dungarees, from the wear to skill of the embroidery and the random decay and damage.
and very nice wiskering on the top half.
They are perfect!!
